Finance Market Risk & Volatility Analysis Dashboard
A data analytics project that analyzes stock market performance using historical financial data. The dashboard focuses on daily returns, market volatility, rolling volatility trends, and Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate risk and forecast possible future stock price movements.
Problem Statement
Financial markets are highly volatile, making it difficult for investors and analysts to
understand market risk and predict future stock behavior.
The goal of this project is to:
- Analyze stock return patterns
- Measure market volatility
- Identify risk trends over time
- Simulate future stock prices using probabilistic forecasting methods
Approach (Short)
- Collected historical stock market data using financial APIs.
- Cleaned and preprocessed the dataset for time-series analysis.
- Calculated daily returns and volatility metrics to measure market fluctuations.
- Performed rolling volatility analysis to identify risk trends over time.
- Applied Monte Carlo Simulation to forecast multiple possible future stock price movements.
- Visualized insights through interactive charts and dashboards for better financial analysis.
